User reviews
With the choices there are investmt apps, even with all the bells, whistles others have, Public is the bee's knee's best. I have all of them downloaded and with my life, I'm rarely on. In fact it's been over a yr since I've traded. But when i logged-in to them, of course I couldn't recall the PW's so the first thing they ask is to text me a temp code. News Flash, people including me get new #'s. The only one that wasn't a nightmare was this baby! Easy as pie to update, navigate & operate!

"Public has been a fantastic platform for my investing needs, especially with its convenient deposit and withdrawal options. I love that I can quickly deposit funds using my debit card and, even better, withdraw directly back to it. This makes managing my money smooth and hassle-free. The app is user-friendly, transparent, and provides a strong sense of community, making it a go-to for anyone looking to invest with ease and confidence!"

I've been with Public for approximately a year and a half right now, and my overall satisfaction can't be explained with just 5 stars. This app has undergone many updates, which make investing easy and enjoyable. From a customizable asset display screen, to simplicity as programming your deposits and investment plans; this app is truly remarkable. A huge shout out to their support team, namely Austin, who's been amazing in terms of assistance with questions and troubleshooting! Thank you!!
